"I'm not bothered that people think I am arrogant" - Wizkid

In a new interview with Encomium mag, Wizkid said he doesn't care if people think he is arrogant, that he doesn't love everybody and so doesn't expect everybody to love him.

Asked if it bothers him that people think he's arrogant, Wizkid said;
"Bother me? Never! I am not bothered. Honestly I don't hear people saying it because anytime I go out, I show my fans great love. I do my thing. I don't have problem with that because I don't love everybody as well. So I don't expect everybody to love me too. That's life" Continue...
Asked if he is terrible person, Wizkid said;
"Terrible? Everyone has opinion about people. But when they say Wizkid is terrible, you need to ask them, "Why is Wizkid a terrible person? What did he do? For four years, I was making music with Samklef, everyone knew his house. I was going up and down, shouting, Samklef Nor Ni. That's me, I am just trying to be a good person. Whereas everyone cannot like you and everyone cannot hate you" he said.
Asked if fame has in anyway changed him, Wizkid said
"No, fame has not changed Wizkid. The only thing fame has changed in Wizkid is that I added some accessories. I have got nice chains, watches, and nice clothes. Asides that, I am still Wizkid. I no tall, still same height"
He also reacted to his recent controversy with singer Saeon,
"Oh really? She's bitter about it. I didn't see the allegation but I gave her hit song. I no try? I did my part. I was in the studio with her, gave her hit song. I no try. That's not even how much I charge for collaboration, I charge N10 million. I collected N1.5 million from her because of love. I was busy, I didn't want to do it" he said. 
Asked about the comment that he doesn't charge those he loves, Wizkid said;
"Yeah I don't charge people I love. I said so but when someone is on your neck everyday for a collaboration and she offers you money, won't you collect it? If you fail to collect it, they start calling you terrible person. I am just trying to be a good guy"
On his fashion sense, Wizkid said;
"Fresh! Am I not looking fresh? I have always loved chains a lot. For me, I also see chains as investment because they ar gold and diamond. You can always sell anything gold and diamond. It is like an investment for me".
On why he loves to flaunt his accessories on social media, Wizkid said;
"You know now. I didn't have accessories when I started my career. Did you see me wearing bling-bling when I did Hola at your boi? No! I hustled to get money to buy them and there is no crime if I show it or flaunt it to my fans because they gave me money to buy them" he said
On where he invests his money, Wizkid said;
"I will say property but most importantly Jewelry. Do you know how much I can sell this chain on my neck when I get broke, God forbid? It's money and to me it's investment. I don't spend money on foolish things. I spend moderately. Besides I am a grown man. I have problems too. I have a child I am taking care of. I have responsibilities, believe it or not" he said
Asked if he is expecting another child, Wizkid said;
"Expecting wetin? Did I tell you I am expecting a child? Yes I didn't tell you guys when I was expecting my first child because people wanted to kill me but Honestly, nothing like that I am not expecting any child now"
Asked if he is getting married anytime soon, Wizkid hissed and said "Wedding? No!"

Gezz,if I hear say he charges 10M for collaborations

Who will give him that kinda money??? Who naa??
Instead I will go and invite French montena to feature in my song!



What an arrogant small rat called wizkid!


Anyway,I don't blame him....that's what extreme childhood poverty does to humanbeings!


Davido is the Man.

Wizkid is just a small boy!

He will crumble very soon and will beg pple to accept him!



"I don't like every1 and don't expect every1 to like m" what rubbish!



I so hate wizkid right now,that his songs sound like noise to my ears!


Funny enough,he lacks talent,his sounds are very alike!

Jennykiss said...

Not just stupidly arrogant but very uncultured...

Well, its good to know we both agree that the only change U've encountered so far is chains/accessories and nothing more (pretty sad). One would have hoped that the value in you should have advanced.

"am a grown man"..like seriously? you actually know how to use that word in a sentence? well, whenever your brain is free from whatever it is your smoking these days, please try to read any/some of your interviews lately then assess yourself...when its only a boy that would compare "properties" to "neck-chains".

please where is his mother or any mother around him for that matter?... he probably is more rude to them than the public seff.

I saw it on BN, they said he was arrested 4 smoking weed.

Tobi said...

People can be so quick to judge sha. You have to understand that aside from being Wizkid he's also a human being with a life. He's just being real from what I have read, I didn't see anything arrogant about his comments. Because he's Wizkid people are waiting for the day he falls. But more power to him.

"Do you know how much I can sell this chain on my neck when I get broke, God forbid?"

Peolple's wrong usage of english will make them indirectly curse themselves. He should have used 'if' and not 'when' in dat sentence

Subomi said...

personally I only know as much as what I read about the guy or what I see on TV, dont know him personally and there is always 2 sides to a story so maybe its wrong to judge him.

Anonymous said...

A lot of people on here are criticising him simply because he says he's not ready for marriage. How many of the people here got married at the age of 24. If he gets married now the same people will say "haaa, this one can't last one year". You can never please people, the man should do his own thing.

Marry me now-now said...

even if everybody hates this guy, which is not even possible, becos i would be the exception,i still really do love him and appreciate his music...d people saying he's arrogant should mind dier business, its obvious they have no other work in life than to judge wizkid...

Honestly, I can't fault Wizzy in anyway- not everyone will like you- that's a given.
I had to go view the collaboration with Saeon and I could see why he's continuously said, "I no try?" He so did- He is like the reason you can listen to that song, IMHO.
He's just so talented and I just can't fault him.
He's also a pretty straightforward guy and seems like someone who's just trying to hustle and doesn't like joining issues with people- I really like the guy.

Whizz kid, great musician bad personality. Id like to attribute the pride and hubris to youthful exuberance for now.

JOSAG FEMI INSPIRATIONAL POETRY said...

Please make una leave my boy alone, Wizkid remains the King and his style of music has paved way for the likes of davido, skales, runtown, and even samklef is now styling his music to align with wizkids trend. His perceived arrogance matches his style, a hustler that broke out to the limelight.... Why wont he flaunt his wealth and behave arrogant. He still posseses dire love for his fans and on the issue of collaborating with Saeon, he's always the Starboy for christsake and that unknown girl practically begged him for months before he got on the track. He did her a favour and she only used her own hand and mouth to cause controversy for her hit track that was already doing well even if people never noticed the void between her and wizkid. Sail on boy! You remain the King with the crown.
